Unicorn Believer

Someone on my team at work saw me embroidering on my break. She asked me if I did stuff for other people, and if I sold stuff I had stitched up. I said "HECK YES I DO" in a very Napoleon Dynamite way. No, that really didn't happen, the Napoleon Dynamite thing. I did say "Heck yes I do!" though. She brought me a black tote and asked if I could stitch on it. Again.. heck yes I can. She wanted unicorns so I found these cute Unicorn Believer patterns on the Sublime Stitching website and went on ahead and purchased those bad boys so I could make a quick $10. It's not a lot but we have the same job and I know how much she makes lol so I don't want to charge a bunch. They were a little harder to stitch because the canvas is thick but I think it turned out cute! I just wish I could get good pics of my stuff. We don't have the best lighting for it in the apartment, so these are shit pictures. I'm happy with the stitching on these, though.

Weird Ass Cars

Here is a bib I made with some weird ass cars.  People like weird cars, right?  I'd totally buy this for a baby.

More Onesies and a Random Piece

These are from Sublime Stitching, except for the bicycle one. I came across that one on an image search.  The green onesie is the Sublime Stitching Vital Organs pattern, which I think is the very first one I purchased from her.  The other is the Cute Little Heads pattern.  

I love how the bike one came out.  I would like to try to find a way to incorporate more buttons into embroidery. You should see the massive button collection I have.  It has lots of vintage buttons too but I don't want to part with them so maybe I'll have to just keep those ones for myself!

Skirts I've Made

I'm making some summer skirts!  I'm making them all from the book "Sew What!  Skirts".  Hence, no pattern needed!  You  just measure yourself and how long you want it to be and it's really easy.

Here is one I finished last week.















And here are four more I'm working on.  They're all sewn together, they just need trim and a zipper.  They go surprisingly fast. 
























































I'm really excited to get them all done and wear them!

Bibs, Bodysuits, Coffee Sleeves

I've been a busy gal!  I made some more coffee sleeves for Moxie:








































































I also embroidered some body suits/onesies. The anatomic heart is from the Sublime Stitching Vital Organs pattern. The bird and owl I found on an image search and the tree I am fairly sure is from ReviDevi.  That owl looks high as fuuuuck:































































































































Whew!

Mini Embroideries

I have spent the past week drawing up mini embroidery patterns so that I could do this:

These cupcakes are sort of inspired by Red Velvet Art.














I created the trees and word bubbles patterns. The sushi is Urban Threads.






























This is from the Sublime Stitching Craftopia pattern.















Aaaaand, this is just one that I did for the hell of it.  It's from the Sublime Stitching Dia de los Muertos pattern.
















All of these, except for the Virgin Mary one, will be for sale in my Etsy shop this week and at Moxie in June.
